TTU’s Craft Center hosts narrative art exhibition

The Appalachian Center for Craft at Tennessee Tech University will host an exhibition that combines narrative and items to create political and cultural commentary until June 20.

The two-part show combines work by James Thurman and Deanna Ooley in the Craft Center’s Gallery Two.

Thurman’s part, “McMuseum of Anthropological Archeology,” is meant to represent a museum from the 24th century that humorously misrepresents this century.

Ooley’s section, “Penumbra Holding Group Collection,” tells the story of a fictional secret society and is inspired by the lack of transparency in financial institutions.

The Craft Center galleries are free and open to the public daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Appalachian Center for Craft is approximately six miles from Interstate 40 at exit 273 (Smithville/McMinnville). Go south on state Route 56; turn left immediately after crossing Hurricane Bridge. This drive leads to the Craft Center.
